Let’s solve this step by step.
We are asked to graph two points on the coordinate plane:
→ Point A: (4, 3)
→ Point B: (10, 5)
Remember how coordinates work:
The first number is the
x-coordinate — it tells you how far to move right (or left if negative) from the origin (0,0).
The second number is the
y-coordinate — it tells you how far to move up (or down if negative).

Step 1: Graph point (4, 3)
- Start at the origin (0,0).
- Move 4 units to the right along the x-axis.
- Then move 3 units up parallel to the y-axis.
- Mark that spot with a dot. That’s your first point.
---
Step 2: Graph point (10, 5)
- Start again at the origin (0,0).
- Move 10 units to the right along the x-axis. (That’s all the way to the edge of the grid shown!)
- Then move 5 units up.
- Mark that spot with a dot. That’s your second point.

You don’t need to connect them unless the problem says so — here, we’re just plotting the points.
Double-check:
- For (4,3): x=4, y=3 → yes, that’s 4 right, 3 up.
- For (10,5): x=10, y=5 → yes, that’s 10 right, 5 up.
Both points are in the first quadrant (positive x and positive y), which matches the grid given.
Final Answer:
Plot a point at (4, 3) and another point at (10, 5) on the coordinate plane.
